Ivory came to the house the day Dr Faith was to leave for Lagos and she instructed Ivory to take good care of Vina. After Dr Faith left the house and Ivory went to her working place,
Vina went in and arranged her important luggage and left her matrimonial house for Ivory's hence she has the spare key.
In the evening when Ivory came back from work, she entered her house and felt a presence in her room. She hurried to the kitchen because she was perceiving an aroma and when she went inside, she saw Vina cooking.
"Vina, what the hell are you doing here" Vina asked with a tone of surprise and anger
"Well, I made up my mind to stay away from Albert and that rubbish called marriage" Vina said admist tears
"Come on Vee, this wasn't the plan. The plan was to stick together till death do you apart so why are you here?" The concerned Ivory asked.
"Ivory, are you sure you love me as a friend? for God's sake I ran to you because I know I will find peace. Why are you making it feel like I've done something horrible!? You're meant to applaud me for my decision and not condemn me or my action. You've seen how Albert treated me after making me fall head over heels in love with him, after making everyone believe that he was a changed person, after contributing greatly to my success story, reformed me, changed and elevated my status now see how he's changed. Even his old self was more honorable than what he is now and I will never forgive him for that. Vina said sorrowfully as she sheds uncontrollable tears down her chic.
Ivory didn't know what else to do but to console Vina
"Vina my dear, I love you and you know it, it's just that I was only concerned about the turn of events. Albert might get me arrested for kidnapping his wife because you never told him you were coming here"
"It doesn't matter what he thinks or what anyone thinks, I've eaten enough trash from him and at this point of my life, I don't care" Vina said boldly
"Come on Vina, I know Albert treated you wrongly but for God's sake he is still your husband so please forgive him for all the Ill treatment he metted out on you. I'm certain this is not Albert so something is definitely wrong somewhere" Ivory said.
" The only thing that is wrong in this whole scenario is me still staying in that house. I owe Albert a lot for making positive impact in my life but I won't stand there and ignore the handwriting of death on the wall. Moreover when he succeds in killing me, he will end up getting married to another beautiful lady and I'll be history.
"It hasn't gotten to that point Vee, you can actually talk to his brother Richard or better still inform your sisters about the happenings in your home and not keeping them in the dark. Albert really hurt you, no doubts but you need to let go and go back to your house then fix your home"
"His attitude might be horrible but I believe with communication, you will get to the root of this whole problem rather than having him because of what he has done.
Let me tell you a story of how love covers all things amidst the person's imperfection and all"*********
" While I was still in Abuja, there was a girl whose name is Felicia, an eighteen year old girl and the youngest and second daughter of one of the wealthiest business tycoon in the country.
She has a nanny whom she considers to be her mom ever since her mom died when she was young. Her father then recently married one of his mistresses making the older illegitimate daughter a legitimate one.
Now to the world, they potray the picture of a happy family but behind closed doors Felicia knows how much her stepmother and stepsister hated her a lot and Felicia had a mental disorder since she was twelve known as kleptomania. It is the inability of someone to control the urge of stealing.
“Thief! Thief! Catch that thief!,” the peaceful morning atmosphere was disrupted as a person clad in black cloth ran up and down out of a supermarket and a man wearing the supermarket's uniform chased after the person as crowd began to gather watching the scene.
Some of the excited spectators even followed the man in chasing the thief whose identity was completely unknown due to the cardigan he was wearing but everyone was anxious to catch the thief.
The thief then ran towards the expressway with the crowd closely behind him. As they were getting closer to him, he ran towards a shiny car, entered and escaped.
Everyone stopped now panting and the supermarket attendant looked upset that they lost the guy.
The crowd were about dispersing when someone suddenly asked,
“Mister, what did he steal from your supermarket?” People stopped again to listen to him but to their utmost surprise, when he said,“toothpaste”
What, everyone couldn't believe they just left their jobs, wasted their time and efforts to chase someone who stole just a toothpaste that barely cost 500 and the thief they were just chasing after got into an expensive looking car.
Why would someone who own a car like that want to steal just a pack of paste when he can easily afford it.
They averted their anger to the supermarket attendant and began to curse him as they believed that the guy pranked them.
Meanwhile in the car, the thief who had just gotten in sat back panting heavily and the other occupant in the car handed over a bottle of water to the thief.
After drinking the water, the thief removed the cardigan letting long and soft looking black hair fall and apparently, the thief was a lady.
Her beautiful and wonderfully carved face was just out of the world and she was indeed a stunning beauty.
“Miss Felicia, what have you done this time around? your father will be so angry if he finds out that we let you leave the mansion,” the lady who had handed over the bottle of water earlier said and it was obviously she was a maid.
Felicia then turned around and shot the maid an angry glare which made her shut up then she ordered the driver to drive faster.
Meanwhile not faraway from the incident of the theft chase, another luxurious car was parked near the expressway and the man in the car wind up his car glass a little revealing part of his stunning face.
He looked at the incident curiously before asking his driver
“Adams, what do you think is going on there.” but the driver shook his head at his boss question hence the boss has never seen this type of scene before.
“Mr Fyneface, that's probably a theft going on and It happens a lot in this area.” the driver replied and Fyneface squeezed his face in disgust.
“Why did Ashley bring me to this fucking place? I regret asking you to stop the car for her,” Fyneface complained. Just as he was about to continue complaining, a lady dressed like a slut entered the car.
“Ashley where the hell did you go? You know you have just three hours with me,” Fyneface said but the lady smiled seductively and leaned towards
Fyneface saying,
“Can't you extend your time at least, I'm not like those previous bitches you've had before. I'm the best in bed and I'll please you like they've ever done.” but Fyneface rolled his eyes.
"That's all you people say, you want to extend the time so you can extort more money from me".
That's the reason why I set a rule of spending not more than three hours with you bitches.
Women are nothing but gold-diggers who use what they have to get what they want" Fyneface complained as he urged the driver to drive faster as Ashley started touching his rod making him aroused.
As Felicia walked into the mansion,
she heaved a sigh of relief as she didn't encounter her dad or her stepmother because she was not really in the mood for another argument right now.
She went straight to her Nanny's room and immediately hugged the middle aged woman and the woman seems to understand her as she began to pat her silently.
“Felicia darling, what did you take this time around?”
“A pack of toothpaste mum, I swear I didn't want to do it. But as soon as the urge came, I found myself taking them and running away,” Felicia replied but the woman smiled and said to her
“That's why you have to go to the therapist regularly.
Your kleptomania is getting worse and It's not good for your father's reputation.” Just as Felicia was about to reply, they heard a loud shout from downstairs followed by a scream.
“Felicia” The nanny called and looked at her face but noticed the mischievous smile on her face then she sighed and said inwardly, "This girl will never change."
“Felicia, that's your step sister shouting. What did you do to her this time,” the nanny asked Felicia who replied her with a smile on her face,
“I only added lemon juice to her cream and It won't kill her.”
“What? You know that's dangerous to her face why would you do such a thing?” her nanny scolded.
“I hate seeing her face,” Felicia replied curtly and ran to the window before turning to the nanny,
“Mum help me cover up please” and with that she ran from the room with the help of the tree next to her room.
As soon as she left, a lady walked into her room angrily with her face looking very horrible to behold and as she frowned, it made her face look more terrible
“Mrs Martha where's that little sister of mine? I'm so going to kill her for doing this to my face. Do you know how embarrassed I was on my date today?” she asked looking around the room.
“Raymond kept on trying to tell me something was appearing on my face but I thought he was getting charmed by my looks.
I even attempted to kiss him but he literally screamed and ran out of the restaurant. Who would want to kiss someone that has disgusting red spots appearing on her face and I'm sure that sister of mine is behind this,” she continued but the
nanny burst into laughter at her story.
“I know you will only try to cover up for her so I'll just go and tell mum.” She said and left grumpily and the nanny stopped laughing now looking in the lady's direction with a little bit of fear on her face.
Felicia laughed as she played a video on her phone.
"I'm so happy to see my sister trending online. My sister has gone viral all thanks to me. Felicia sighed as the video finished playing and thought about how her life turned to hell when her father brought Sharon and her mother into their lives.
"I was doing just fine with my dad and my nanny until they came. They bullied and maltreated me in all manner of ways and my dad couldn't even do anything about it.
I didn't fight back at first until Sharon successfully stopped our father from sending me to the university and I was supposed to be in the university studying now but due to Sharon's scheme I wasn't opportuned to further my education.
"From that day hence forth, I vowed to make her pay for everything that she has done to me starting from now on.
Sharon on the other hand was still looking for her parents but as she looked up as the door opened her parents walked in then she ran towards them immediately complaining,
“Mom and dad see what Felicia has done to my face.” Her dad looked at her face and couldn't say anything but her mum pulled her closer.
“Why would Felicia do such a thing to you? Badmus, look what your loving daughter did to my daughter,”
her mum said looking at her dad's face but he didn't even reply. He just held Sharon's hand and took her to sit on a sofa before handing over a document to her.
“Sharon, check what's inside?” he said and Sharon wondered what could happened because Mr Badmus rarely calls her Sharon. She checked the document and skimmed through what was written on it and it was a marriage contract
“A marriage contract, dad and you've even signed it. I didn't tell you that I was ready to get married,” Sharon said flabbergasted and Mr Badmus sighed and held her hand,
“Sharon the company is going bankrupt and soon all this luxury will be over. among of all my friends that I asked for help, it was just one of them that was willing to help but in exchange, he asked for that.”
"I thought about it but I'm not ready to be tied down to one stupid marriage. I won't get enough freedom to go to parties and date any guy I want" Sharon I checked the contract again looking for a flaw then she smiled when she finally found one"
“Dad, the contract doesn't specify which of your daughter's will get married and you have two daughters. Dad why can't Felicia just get married to this guy instead of me? I still have a bright future than Felicia who didn't even attend university,” Sharon said smiling.
Mr Badmus looked weary but he just collected the document back from Sharon, stood up smiling about to move away but Esther came and dragged Sharon out of the room.
“What the hell mom, that was painful” Sharon said as she forcefully released her hand from her mom's stronghold.
“You fool, how could you have handed over that pot of gold to Felicia. Was the groom's name not written there?,” Esther asked her daughter Sharon angrily.
Sharon shook her head negatively and said,
“No it wasn't there but mom that does not matter because I'm not ready to get married and lose my sexy figure for any pregnancy.
There won't even be much freedom for me to do whatever I like.” Sharon complained and Esther looked like she wanted to slap sense into her head,
“Even if we don't know the groom. we know he's wealthy enough to save your father's company and your position will be more secured than that dead woman's daughter.”
“Mom don't worry about that. I don't care who the groom is. All I know is that dad's company will be saved and once Felicia leaves. All of dad's properties will belong to us and we won't have to share it with anyone,” Sharon successfully persuading her mom as they smiled at each other before going back outside.
As soon as Felicia stepped into the house, She knew something was wrong because her father, Sharon and her mom Esther were all seated waiting for her so she checked the expression on their faces.
Her dad looked a little bit tired, Sharon was giving one kind of sick smile which made Felicia uncomfortable with and her mom was just staring at her.
Felicia walked to where they were sitting and her dad finally noticed her so he looked up and said,
“Felicia, I need to speak to you urgently.” Her father said then handed over a document to her which she read and quickly dropped it.
"So this was the reason why Sharon was smiling earlier. Felicia thought
“So dad when is Sharon getting engaged?,” Felicia asked happily and everyone looked at her and I wondered what's on her face.
“Bitch, you are the one getting married and not me,” Sharon answered
